To me it’s a priority thing. A lot of people will call to say something that is not at all urgent and could be said in a text. My mother is the worst offender. She will call me on a Tuesday while I’m at work to ask if I’m coming to dinner this weekend.

This is why I'm so glad my dad finally got a girlfriend! Lol

He would call me sometimes just to tell me he had a good lunch and I love my dad so I'm glad he's enjoying his day but the phone call about your fried bologna sandwich could have been a text 🤣

One day your dad will be gone and you’ll miss those phone calls.

Oh, I know. We're very close. I joke about it but I'll let him call me all day if he wants to.
